Happy Tycoon

Chapter 476: Frightened

The huge Mi-17 Hippo transport helicopter quickly arrived from the Blue Whale.

The treasure has been found, and the area around the Blue Whale seems to be quite safe, so Chris Barton and George Bruce drove the hippopotamus to the cave at an ultra-low altitude.

Compared with the small and cute Antarctic Tern, the hippopotamus captured by Yang Jing and the others is a giant.

The length of this Mi-17 transport helicopter is nearly half that of the Antarctic Tern, and the diameter of the propeller is also nearly doubled. The most critical is the load capacity. Compared with the Antarctic Tern's poor carrying capacity of less than one ton, the maximum carrying capacity of the hippopotamus can even exceed seven tons.

However, this hippo was equipped with a weapon rack outside, and Chris and the others did not have time to remove it, so the load capacity of this hippo was slightly less. Without additional weapons, the hippo can now carry close to six tons.

When Chris and George drove this big guy over, they also brought some hoisting tools and transportation vehicles that had been prepared earlier. Load these things into the helicopter.

Yang Jing was very puzzled, how did Antonov hide these big boxes in the first place.

When Chris came, he also brought four bodyguards, and now there are only two bodyguards left on the boat as guards, and all other bodyguards have come.

Although the oilcloth outside the wooden box was not damaged, the ropes binding the oilcloth had long since rotted. But it doesn't matter, Chris brought enough high-strength nylon straps, everyone worked together, and directly used nylon straps to re-bundle all the oilcloths outside the outer straps of these large boxes, and then used lifting tools to hang them all one by one. Come out and transport it to the Hippo helicopter outside.

Chris and Carl were injured, and they were happy to watch the fun. Ten people, including Yang Jing and Grid, worked hard all morning to move all these big boxes out. During the period, Chris and Carl drove the hippopotamus to the Blue Whale three times, and refueled once in the middle. It was not until the evening that all the more than 20 large wooden boxes were moved to the Blue Whale.

Because these treasures are all hidden in boxes, even if the crew on the Blue Whale saw it, they didn't know what was inside.

Yang Jing explained to them that the contents of the box were mammoth tusks found in an ancient mammoth mound found in the Beranga Mountains.

At present, most countries in the world are embargoed on ivory and ivory products, but mammoth ivory, which has long been extinct, is no longer in this ranks.

Moreover, compared with ivory, mammoth ivory is not only larger, but also has a better texture, so the price of mammoth ivory is also extremely high. A very common mammoth ivory can be sold for tens of thousands of dollars, and some top-quality mammoth ivory can even be sold for hundreds of thousands of dollars.

It's just that mammoth ivory is not easy to find. After all, this animal has been extinct for tens of thousands of years. However, in some places, mammoth ivory can still be found. For example, Siberia is the world-famous mammoth ivory excavation site.

Although Russia has legislated to prohibit the illegal excavation of mammoth ivory a long time ago, Siberia is vast and sparsely populated, and the Russian authorities do not have the ability to monitor the entire Siberia, especially the northern part of Siberia, which is difficult for the Russian government to administer. Therefore, many people who specialize in mammoth ivory dig up a lot of mammoth ivory secretly in Siberia every year.

Excavating mammoth ivory will of course violate Russian law, but mammoth ivory is circulated internationally and is of high value. Therefore, compared to the huge profits and marketability of mammoth ivory, these ivory diggers would rather violate Russian laws and dig mammoth ivory secretly.

You Russian police can't catch us, why don't we dig up these mammoth ivory?

Therefore, every year on the vast land of Siberia, thousands of ivory diggers secretly excavate mammoth ivory here. The Russian authorities also knew about this, but they were powerless to do anything about this phenomenon of theft. As a Russian-American, Andrei and the crew members who have traveled to the North and South Poles all year round certainly knew about this, so the crew took it for granted that Yang Jing and the others brought back a large amount of mammoth ivory.

In particular, Yang Jing said that he had found a mammoth grave, which reassured the crew's doubts. They all knew that Yang Jing was a rich man, so ordinary ivory people would not pay attention to him at all. However, a legendary mammoth mausoleum is fatally attractive to this kind of rich man.

If a rich man like this doesn't move, as long as he moves, the mammoth grave will inevitably be emptied. For this kind of rich man, the value of the mammoth tomb is only secondary. What they like is the process of discovering such a legendary place and exploring it in person.

More than twenty large boxes were all moved into a cabin below the deck, and afterward, Yang Jing refused everyone's follow, and plunged into that cabin. The euphemistic name is: these treasures must be technically protected first.

Ge Ge consciously did not follow Yang Jing into that cabin. Although she also wanted to see those treasures at first sight, she also knew that Yang Jing didn't need to be disturbed, and she couldn't help much after she went in, so it's better not to follow in and disturb Yang Jing.

Yang Jing only stayed in the cabin for less than half an hour before coming out of the cabin and notifying Captain Andre to lift the anchor immediately.

As the huge anchor was lifted by the windlass, the huge body of the Blue Whale began to move, but the direction the Blue Whale was sailing was not the direction it came from, but was heading east.

This was specifically explained by Yang Jing, because the supply of the Blue Whale is sufficient, so Yang Jing planned to let the Blue Whale go eastward along the coastline of Siberia, then enter the Pacific Ocean through the Bering Strait, and finally dock in Huaxia Lu Province island city.

That's right, Yang Jing didn't want to go back to the United States immediately, these treasures were too precious, Yang Jing had to find a way to send them back to the country first.

As for Lin Dan's matter, it would be better to solve it. After returning to Huaxia, call Zhao Meng directly and ask him to come by plane to bring Lin Dan back.

Compared with Lin Dan, Yang Jing pays more attention to these treasures just acquired.

Because the preciousness of this batch of treasures far exceeded Yang Jing’s imagination, after he got into the cabin, he only opened three packing boxes in the storage space, and was shocked by the three works that were exposed.
